MITCH TRUBISKY

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett is growing up on the job.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said at his press conference that he anticipates Kenny Pickett will clear the concussion protocol soon and will be ready to start on Saturday.

"Just gotta make a better decisions, just gotta protect the football," Trubisky said, via ESPN . The Steelers enter Sunday’s game in Charlotte having won three of their last five, though their chances of making the playoffs have all but been eliminated.

Russell Wilson out for BroncosThe Denver Broncos officially ruled out Russell Wilson for Sunday's game with the Arizona Cardinals, paving the way for Brett Rypien. He'll go up against Colt McCoy and the Cardinals, who lost starter Kyler Murray last week to an ACL injury. The Ravens ruled Lamar Jackson out of this week’s game with the Cleveland Browns due to a PCL sprain, marking the second straight game he’ll miss. Claypool will miss Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a knee injury he first stained two weeks ago. Wide receivers Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins have been ruled out, Cooks with a calf injury and Collins with a foot injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson was blunt when asked who he'd prefer at quarterback this Sunday, saying Mason Rudolph should get his shot.

Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph said Wednesday he feels he hasn't "been active on Sundays" following coach Mike Tomlin's assessment of the Steelers' depth chart.

Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett's status for Pittsburgh's visit to Carolina is uncertain after entering the concussion protocol for the second time in two months.

Pickett was shaken up after getting sacked by Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith at the end of Pittsburgh's first drive. “I don't know about the sequence or the details regarding the sequence,” Tomlin said after the game. Trubisky warmed up briefly while Pickett spent time in the blue medical tent and then checked on his teammate before Pickett went out for Pittsburgh's second drive. “He said he was feeling fine, and that was that.”This is the second time this season Pickett has been placed in the protocol. Baltimore quarterback Tyler Huntley, filling in for injured starter Lamar Jackson, also went into the concussion protocol in the second half and did not return.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he didn’t know “the details regarding the sequence” that led to rookie quarterback Kenny Picket initially being cleared to play before being put into concussion protocol during a 16-14 loss to Baltimore.

A vast majority of the quarterback changes made in the offseason have not worked out for NFL contenders looking to stabilize the position and win right away.

While Dobbins is out for Sunday, quarterback Lamar Jackson was taken off their injury report after his hip injury.

Can we finally start Tony Pollard.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett will practice on Wednesday and will play next Sunday night against Miami if he clears the NFL's concussion protocol. “If Kenny Pickett is cleared to play, he’ll play,” Tomlin said. Pickett left in the third quarter against the Buccaneers after being legally knocked to the ground by Tampa Bay linebacker Devin White. Tomlin praised Trubisky for his contributions, but has no plans to go back to Trubisky if Pickett is good to go. Pickett is the fifth Steelers player to enter the concussion protocol this season.

The Steelers (2-4) snapped a four-game losing streak by relying on a largely anonymous defense missing almost its entire starting secondary. Trubisky connected with Claypool again for a 26-yard gain on the Steelers' final drive and then ran for a 9-yard gain that finished off Tampa Bay.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett left Sunday's game against Tampa Bay in the third quarter after entering the league's concussion protocol. Pickett's head appeared to hit the turf after being legally pushed to the ground by Tampa Bay linebacker Devin White just after releasing a pass. Pickett lay on the Acrisure Stadium turf for several seconds before getting up on his own. The team ruled Pickett out for the rest of the game early in the fourth quarter. Mitch Trubisky, who lost his starting job to Pickett at halftime of a loss to the New York Jets on Oct. 2, replaced Pickett.

Pickett, the Steelers' first-round draft pick in April, replaced Trubisky officially before last week's blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was surprised that head coach Mike Tomlin made the move at halftime to replace Mitch Trubisky with Kenny Pickett.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — The Kenny Pickett Era is officially underway in Pittsburgh. The rookie quarterback will make his first career start Sunday when the Steelers visit Buffalo. Pickett, the 20th overall pick in the draft, made his regular season debut in the second half of a 24-20 loss to the New York Jets. Pickett replaces Mitch Trubisky, who was signed in the offseason but was benched at halftime against the Jets as coach Mike Tomlin looked for a spark. Pittsburgh is 1-3 heading into a stretch against teams with a combined 12-4 record, starting with a visit to 3-1 Bills.

Pittsburgh needed to see what it has in Pickett, and they probably confirmed one thing: He's better than Trubisky. Even with the turnovers, Pickett provided some life that Trubisky wasn't giving them. Ideally, Pickett is someone that can raise the floor of the Steelers offense. Pickett is supposed to be a safe quarterback prospect and the Steelers offense could definitely use a sturdy set of guard rails right now. It’s a Pickett party in Pittsburgh and now he has his chance to become the next long-term starting quarterback for the Steelers.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Breece Hall ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 16 seconds remaining and Zach Wilson and the New York Jets spoiled Kenny Pickett's debut in Pittsburgh by rallying for a 24-20 victory over the Steelers on Sunday. Wilson took the Jets 65 yards in 10 plays, the final two coming as Hall churned his way across the goal line. The Jets were up 10-6 at the half and the Steelers made a move that was inevitable at some point, inserting Pickett in place of the struggling Mitch Trubisky. Wilson responded with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Corey Davis that drew the Jets within 20-17 with 7:35 to go. Pickett drove the Steelers into New York territory, but his sideline throw to tight end Pat Freiermuth was high and late.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — It's Kenny Pickett time for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie quarterback made his NFL debut in the second half on Sunday against the New York Jets, coming in after starter Mitch Trubisky was hit late near the end of the first half. Pickett, taken 20th overall by the Steelers as the heir apparent to the retired Ben Roethlisberger, received a massive ovation from the Acrisure Stadium crowd. His first drive ended with an interception by New York safety Jordan Whitehead, who briefly played with Pickett with the Panthers in 2017. The team made no injury announcement on Trubisky, who walked onto the field in a baseball cap to start the second half.

Tua Tagovailoa and the unbeaten Miami Dolphins are underdogs in Week 4.

Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett suffered a sprained shoulder, strained biceps and minor cuts when he flipped his Porsche in a frightening one-car accident on Monday.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday he will not reevaluate Mitch Trubisky's position following the team's second straight loss of the season.

On Thursday night, Mitch Trubisky makes his debut in one of the NFL's fiercest feuds. The Steelers are very familiar with Garrett's ability to ruin a play and need to keep him off Trubisky. The Steelers selected 6-foot-3 wide receiver George Pickens in the second round to essentially replace JuJu Smith-Schuster, who left in free agency. Conklin's return makes the Browns' potent ground game (401 yards in two games) more dangerous. Although he was close to playing in the first two games, the Browns chose to make him inactive.

Mitch Trubisky will make his debut in the Steelers-Browns rivalry.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans began chanting for rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett during the third quarter of Sunday's 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Mitch Trubisky won the starting quarterback job in Pittsburgh during training camp by basically not losing it. He didn't turn the ball over during the preseason and won raves from the coaching staff for his decision-making. “We’ve got playmakers, young playmakers, guys with a lot of talent, guys that want to be the reasons why we’re successful,” Tomlin sad. The Steelers got off to a similar sluggish start last season and recovered to make the playoffs. Canada used the words “grow” or “growth” multiple times on Tuesday, essentially saying the Steelers need to trust the process.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are searching for an offensive spark as they prepare to play Cleveland.

The New England Patriots were staring 0-2 in the face, which would have marked the first time they had that record since 2001. But crisis was averted.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Mac Jones threw for 253 yards and a touchdown and the New England Patriots edged the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-14 on Sunday. The Patriots (1-1) haven't lost consecutive games to start a season since 2001. Jones finished 21 of 35, including a 44-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Nelson Agholor late in the first half. Mitch Trubisky threw for 168 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Steelers, whose offense sputtered for long stretches as it struggled to find any sense of rhythm. It was enough to help the Patriots improve to 13-4 against the Steelers under coach Bill Belichick.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph all impressed Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin during the preseason with their respective accuracy. If only the same could be said for whoever put together the team's initial depth chart for the 2022 season. Pickett did his best to apply pressure, playing well during the preseason on his way to supplanting Rudolph as the No. “I thought that he grew and grew at a really fast pace once we got in the stadiums,” Tomlin said. Tomlin made it a point to praise Rudolph's professionalism during the process and said the play of Rudolph, Pickett and Trubisky over the past six weeks helped a young offense get up to speed quickly.

Mitch Trubisky will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 2022 season opener in Cincinnati, with rookie Kenny Pickett the top backup.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Mike Tomlin deliberately — and quite effectively — declined to announce a starting quarterback for months, even as all signs pointed to Mitch Trubisky. Trubisky will be the starter on Sunday when Pittsburgh begins the post-Ben Roethlisberger era in Cincinnati. “I just think he's a guy who people rally around,” said defensive tackle Cam Heyward of Trubisky, who arrived in free agency in March. He’s locked in.”Trubisky found it telling that Harris flew to Pittsburgh on the day Trubisky officially signed. Harris gave Trubisky a rough sketch of the offense and the team's goals for 2022 and beyond.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Mike Tomlin isn't quite ready to publicly anoint Mitch Trubisky as the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback. “I just think he's a guy who people rally around,” said defensive tackle Cam Heyward of Trubisky, who arrived in free agency in March. He’s locked in.”Trubisky found it telling that Harris flew to Pittsburgh on the day Trubisky officially signed. Harris gave Trubisky a rough sketch of the offense and the team's goals for 2022 and beyond. And that’s why he is who he is.”NOTES: The Steelers signed S Andrew Adams, CB Josh Jackson and LB Delontae Scott to the practice squad on Monday.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Mitch Trubisky staked his claim to take over for the retired Ben Roethlisberger, throwing for 160 yards and a touchdown as the Pittsburgh Steelers eased past Detroit 19-9 in the NFL's preseason finale on Sunday afternoon. Trubisky, signed to a two-year contract in March, was at his best late in the first half. While coach Mike Tomlin may wait to announce who will ultimately get the nod in the three-man race — well, OK, two-man race — between Trubisky and rookie Kenny Pickett — Trubisky did little to lose the job during three exhibition appearances. Hockenson seemed to apologize to Watt immediately after the play, and Watt remained in the game briefly before being pulled. There could be one available in Pittsburgh, where Mason Rudolph appears very much to be the third-man in the three-way race with Trubisky and Pickett.

Mitch Trubisky staked his claim to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback, throwing for 160 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 win over Detroit in the NFL's preseason finale.

The three NFL teams that had been the models of stability at quarterback have new signal-callers in 2022.

Kenny Pickett’s second preseason performance was as impressive as his first, and it came against better competition.

It's why the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers coach is in no rush to announce a starting quarterback. Or spend the next six weeks giving daily updates on who might be in the lead to replace the retired Ben Roethlisberger. Tomlin knows the situation will not sort itself out on Twitter or the internet or sports talk radio or debate shows but the practice field.

The on-the-fly retooling of the Pittsburgh Steelers offense is nearly complete. Outgoing general manager Kevin Colbert ended his 20-plus-year tenure with the organization by investing heavily in offensive skill players in his final draft, with the hope that his still-unnamed successor is well-positioned for the future. Throw them into the mix with the top of the 2021 draft class that featured running back Najee Harris and tight end Pat Freiermuth and it's clear the Steelers have loaded up on young and relatively inexpensive talent (at least in the short-term).

The suspect was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Let the dealing begin — if mostly unofficial.

An underwhelming free agent class for quarterbacks is overshadowed by the possibility of multiple big names changing teams.

Matt Eberflus is the new coach of the Chicago Bears, tasked with turning around a franchise mired in mediocrity for much of the past decade.

The Chicago Bears have fired general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy, hoping new leadership in the front office and on the sideline will lift a struggling franchise.

Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky returned to Soldier Field and led the Buffalo Bills to a 41-15 victory over his former team, the Chicago Bears.

Rookie quarterback Justin Fields came off the bench in the second quarter and rallied the Chicago Bears from a 13-0 deficit to a 20-13 win over the Miami Dolphins at Soldier Field to start each team's preseason.

Jake Fromm threw a 42-yard, fourth-down pass to rookie Marquez Stevenson to set up Tyler Bass’ 44-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the Buffalo Bills’ 16-15 victory over the Detroit Lions on Friday night.

(AP Photo/Gary McCullough, File)For people wondering where is all the free-agent quarterback movement as the NFL's “legal tampering” period enters its second day, well, calm down. He started seven and played in nine games last season for Miami, throwing for 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He will be replaced as Tua Tagovailoa's backup by Brissett, who will get a one-year, $5 million deal in Miami. The Bengals also reached agreement with Pittsburgh safety Mike Hilton on a four-year, $24 million contract, also according to a person with knowledge of the deal. Kelly signed a three-year, $21 million deal exactly a year ago and started all 16 games at right tackle.

Regardless, on Monday, two days before the NFL's 2021 business year begins, the 32 teams and agents for the players will be making deals. “Legal tampering, and tampering is illegal? AdOf course, free agency always is a buyer-beware situation. AdVoila: Lavonte David, a key linebacker, was re-signed, and several other key guys in the title run could be back. “We do have some money from a cap standpoint that we can spend; but again, it’s an interesting year.

(AP Photo/Phelan M.

Again, the franchise tag is an option for us.

Brees completed 28 of 39 passes for 265 yards, connecting with Michael Thomas and Latavius Murray for touchdowns, and the New Orleans Saints defeated the Chicago Bears 21-9 in an NFC wild-card game Sunday. Brees' first touchdown pass in the opening quarter was 11-yards over the middle to Thomas, back from a three-game absence to help heal a nagging ankle injury. The 2019 Offensive Player of the Year missed nine games this season and had not caught a touchdown pass since December 2019. That marked the second time this season a Bears player was thrown out for action taken against Gardner-Johnson after the whistle. The Bears have reached the playoffs twice since Pace took over in 2015, both times under Nagy, who was hired in 2018.

The Green Bay Packers clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC by beating the playoff-bound Chicago Bears 35-16 on Sunday. “This is a special season," Rodgers said. And the Packers beat Chicago again after pounding the Bears at Lambeau Field to start their win streak. Green Bay then drove 76 yards, with Jones scoring from the 4 to make it 28-16 with 3:47 remaining.

James O'Shaughnessy #80 of the Jacksonville Jaguars is tackled by Kindle Vildor #22 of the Chicago Bears at TIAA Bank Field on December 27, 2020 in Jacksonville, Florida. The team that lost its sixth consecutive game earlier this month has now won three in a row and is on the verge of making the expanded NFC playoffs. “With where we’re at right now as a team, it’s definitely different,” Chicago coach Matt Nagy said. Chicago scored 30 or more points for the fourth consecutive week, the first time the Bears have accomplished the feat since 1965. This one came courtesy of a strong second half.

That 14-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, his second score of the game, put Chicago ahead again by double digits. Every time the Vikings made a push, this once-flailing Bears offense had an answer. Cairo Santos, who converted all four of his kicks, stretched his streak to 22 straight field goals made. The Vikings, who finished 3-5 at home this year, had four goal-to-go situations that yielded only two touchdowns. When the Vikings beat them 19-13 five weeks ago in Chicago, the Bears managed two first-half field goals and needed a kickoff return touchdown by Cordarrelle Patterson to stay competitive.

Huh)CHICAGO – Darrell Bevell had a hard time processing everything from his first game as an NFL coach. They fired general manager Bob Quinn and coach Matt Patricia while elevating Bevell, their offensive coordinator, to interim coach. But the Lions turned things around down the stretch, sending the Bears (5-7) to their sixth straight loss. The Lions came out on top after losing four of five, and Stafford gave Bevell the game ball.

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo drove Foles into the ground on his right side during the Bears' final drive of a 19-13 loss, and Foles stayed down for several minutes as trainers examined an injury that Nagy said was to Foles' leg or hip. Now the Bears have almost two weeks to sort out whether Mitch Trubisky, also injured two weeks earlier, will be ready to play against the Packers should Foles' injury keep him out.

“I don’t ever remember having our own defense score more than our offense,” Nagy said. “That’s that’s that’s hard to do. But the offense has averaged 16 points per game in Foles’ four starts since, and he’s getting little help from the players around him. The offensive line struggled against the strong front of the Rams (5-2), producing just 2.9 yards per carry. Foles was sacked four times, twice at the hands of former Bears linebacker Leonard Floyd, and he threw two interceptions.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (12) throws a pass against the Chicago Bears during the first half of an NFL football game in Chicago, Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)CHICAGO – Tom Brady fell to Nick Foles again and appeared to lose count of downs on his final play, and the Chicago Bears beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-19 on Thursday night after Cairo Santos kicked a 38-year field goal with 1:17 remaining. The three-time MVP was seen screaming on the sideline late in the third quarter after an ugly drive for Tampa Bay. Ryan Succop kicked four field goals, including a 25-yarder to give Tampa Bay a 19-17 lead with 4:49 remaining. Kyle Fuller then put a big hit on Ke'Shawn Vaughn as he caught a short pass, and Robert Quinn recovered the fumble, giving the Bears possession on the Tampa Bay 27.

“To join a team and to be embraced the way that I’ve been embraced — it’s been amazing for me,” Brady said. Brady threw for 369 yards and five touchdowns and helped Tampa Bay overcome a 17-point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 38-31 last week. Indianapolis won 11 games that season, with Arians going 9-3 as interim coach while Pagano was battling leukemia. Getting it back in gear won't be easy this week, considering Tampa Bay ranks second against the run. “That happened to be a game there, where we were just struggling to get it going," coach Matt Nagy said.

The Falcons surrendered a 16-point advantage in the final 6 1/2 minutes to the Chicago Bears, who got three touchdown passes from backup quarterback Nick Foles and pulled out a 30-26 win on Sunday. It would have seemed downright improbable — if it hadn't happened for the second week in a row. The former Super Bowl MVP won it with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Miller with 1:53 remaining. He tossed a 3-yard touchdown pass to Graham to make it 26-16 with 6:20 to go. But Foles got his chance after Trubisky threw an interception in the third quarter that led to a Falcons field goal, pushing the lead to 26-10.

Trubisky threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to help Chicago come back from a 17-point deficit. It looked familiar to Lions fans: Detroit opened last season by blowing an 18-point lead at Arizona and settling for a tie. Late in the game, Lions fans likely would've filled the facility with a chorus of boos.
